Plan Amendments

If a proposed development is not consistent with any of the goals, objectives, or policies of the Lee Plan, an amendment to the plan may be requested. The Board of County Commissioners may also sponsor amendments they deem to have an overriding benefit to the majority of the citizens of Lee County. Florida State Statutes provide for local government comprehensive plans to be amended through a number of different methods with the most common being the Expedited State Review Process and the small scale amendment, which are generally limited to map amendments affecting 10 acres or less. Applications for amendments are accepted at any time throughout the year.
